Why I Love My Vet

You all know I love Dr. Gary, the best horse vet/friend in the world. But did you know we have the best small animal vet too? Dr. Roberta is a vet that can't say no to an animal in need. Some time ago, someone brought in this baby squirrel. Dr. Roberta took him in and fed him goat milk every 3 hours. Now Squirrel is a big boy, and he's taken over her office. And her life.

Squirrel will eventually move to a squirrel halfway house, and then be released. It will be a while because winter has begun here. It snowed all day, and tonight's low will be 14 degrees.

A friend of my hubby's had a pet squirrel. He was a Snap-On tool man and the squirrel traveled with him. The only complaint the guy had was that the squirrel would bury his food all over the truck cab... tucking away seeds and nuts in every possible niche!

I actually enjoyed our snow today... knowing that it will be sunny and much warmer the rest of the week makes it a little easier to take!

Looks like tons of fun to have that little critter around. I have a "resident" squirrel in my yard. He goes about his business gathering walnuts and stuff and both my cat and dog, don't even hardly glance at it. I guess they have some sort of agreement or someting. Silly creatures...
